I think he's trying to say the stronger statement that not only does correlation != causation, but he also believes there are known confounding factors that weren't accounted for.
"If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the terms of this License."

Doesn't particularly specify what type of business you have to be running, though it's obviously partially related to whatever type of software you licensed under the SSPL.

The GPL affects projects which embed GPL code into them, and the SSPL effectively does the same, it just draws the borders wider, to anything used to provide it as a service to others. In a copyleft sense, that promotes providers of it to also contribute to the ecosystem of tools around it.
Thx! I’ll definitely sub up to the channel and follow along.
What do you think of memristors vs FPGAs?

They have many similarities -- they both redrew the current computer architectures, they integrate memory and computing, they can have randomness built-in, and they both take less power than mainstream GPUs.

What does memristor provide that specially designed "neural FPGA" can not?
Ah yes, I had completely forgotten about upgrade-insecure-requests. This mitigates a lot of what I was complaining of, though, as you say, it’s still subject to downgrade attacks at some points. Thanks for the correction.
Thanks for your detailed reply and I’m sorry to hear of your medical conditions. Please continue to take good care of yourself.

Launch HN: HiHello – Connect with your customers virtually – video.hihello.video
Hello All,
Today we are launching our service HiHello available at video.hihello.video

We are on a mission to virtually connect small and medium businesses with their current and prospective customers on their own website. Unlike our competitors which require customers to go on their platform, we make customers land on your website/platform and let you meet them virtually on your website. This way customers check out your website, your products/services and also connect with you.

The current launch looks more like Video conferencing solution which is a main component of the offering, however we will rapidly launch newer core features.

Service is currently fully free to conduct unlimited Video calls. Please make sure to password protect your video calls immediately after starting the conference and before sending the invite link.

What I am looking for:
1) Honest feedback from the vibrant and brilliant Hackernews community about the vision, about the functioning of service and anything that will help an Entrepreneur like me.
2) A co-founder. Good to have a brilliant Engineer.

Please try out the service with your colleagues and friends and provide feedback to feedback _at_ hihello _dot_ video
That is exactly what Dr. Gabor Mate says in this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66cYcSak6nE

Everyone watches TV but only a few of them become addicted to TV. Everyone eats but only a few become addicted to eating, etc. What makes the difference between normal and compulsive use is an inherent susceptibility.

Mate says that usually that increased susceptibility comes from developmental issues / mental health issues / trauma, etc.
Sharing technology itself is nowhere close to enough. The end game will have to be some kind of forced infrastructure sharing agreements.
This guy makes a simple concept too complicated.

The main thing that's different about python OO is the method.

class SomeClass
def someMethod(self: SomeClass, someVar: int) -> int:
return self.x + somVar

The explicit passing of context through "self" gives python methods combinator-like properties. Because of this, you can copy and paste the method and run it outside of the context of the class:

def someMethod(self: SomeClass, someVar: int) -> int:
return self.x + somVar

The above will work in global context. This makes python code significantly more refactorable than other OO languages. For example C++:

class SomeClass {
int someMethod(int someVar) {
return this.x + someVar;
}
}

If you copy and paste the method outside of the class:

int someMethod(int someVar) {
return this.x + someVar;
}

It won't work.

The python way just allows the method to be easily refactored to operate on a generic type (caveat: you have to ignore typing which the python interpreter actually does). Given a self.x, any value for self will be valid so long as it contains an x. Python does this automatically and that is the main difference.

The main problem with OO is unfortunately still not resolved under either example. OO promotes context to follow logic around preventing the logic from being reused in other contexts. Ultimately, this is what's needed for the greatest modularity:

def someMethod(x: int, someVar: int) -> int:
return x + someVar

And although you can write the above with OO, the style ultimately promotes practices that steers programmers away it.
Yeah, the Tesla plugs are objectively better than the "standards." I own 2 non-Tesla EVs, and using a Chademo charge plug is actually kind of comical. A Tesla supercharger plug (which can handle 5 times the power the typical Chademo plug does) is basically the same size as a regular L2 plug, maybe even slightly smaller (big cable, however), and only one port is needed for both L2 and Superchargers.

In an ideal world, everyone would just standardize to what Tesla uses because it's the best. The only exception would be ports that support 800V charging, but that is extremely rare, still (basically, Porsche?).
What do you think the comments here would be like if the study found extensive marijuana use is strongly correlated with extreme happiness, strong relationships, and fantastic libido? Would we see as much correlation does not imply causation canard?

> This feels like splitting hairs though.

Respectfully, it doesn't feel like splitting hairs to me... but quite a significant frame-shift. (Defensive credentializing: I'm a former biochemist and now technologist and event facilitator, with a fascination for the always-evolving fields of social physics & complexity science.)

I'm increasingly a believer in something called the Leiden Theory of Language, or Symbiosism: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316665359_Symbiosis...

This theory proposes that language is a separate strata of organism/information that co-evolved with the host biology of the human mind. i.e. We're unique not because we're simply "the smartest biology", but rather, we're more like a cyborg of two organisms, one biological and one semiotic. As a assemblage, we have vastly overrepresented dominance of the semiotic organism compared to other creatures who host very primitive semiotic organisms.

In this frame, humans can be conceptualized as individuals, but alternatively as simply hosts to the mind, which functions as the replication machinery of the larger social organism that takes shape between minds in the strata above (organizations, nations, culture).

I'm still chewing on all this stuff, mind you :) And thank you for the recommendation -- I really need to pick up that book!
Also, the "Tesla" standard is objectively better in nearly every way. It sucks we don't all just use that for all EVs.
Keep in mind that correlation doesn't prove causation, but it does go along with it. Any time you find correlation, something goes along with it. Maybe A causes B. Maybe B causes A. Maybe A and B have a common cause C. Each of those is interesting, even if you don't know which is which from just the correlation.

Consider if the data had fallen out the other way: if there was no correlation between these measures of harm and cannabis use, that would have been evidence of a lack of harm from cannabis use.

So even if you can't draw any strong conclusions from this study, it's still an interesting data point.
S-Cinetone and the So-Called Venice Color Science
They were banned after "repeated warnings". It's possible that those warnings began before these market movements.
>Isn't it the opposite of what parent is saying

Yes. vpribish is saying that chovybizzass is wrong.
If it wasn’t for my habitual cannabis use, I’d probably have made twice as much money last year and have gotten a better job. Whatever — I guess half a mil isn’t that bad for a pothead.
As someone with no skin in the game, I find the whole situation both amusing and satisfying. I'm genuinely happy for all the WSB users who can now retire.

At the same time, it's still just people getting lucky/unlucky in the stock market. One Wall Street group got burned, but others made bank. At no point did the system change or become threatened in any way. Given all that, I don't understand why it is portrayed as some sort of heroic fight between good and evil.
There's really nothing to discuss around this article. None of the point is new (Cannabis users in where it is illegal also showed strong correlation with other substance use), The strong claims are click-bait:

>not be in a relationship at age 35

and it's light on any details or insight. It's a ridiculous hit piece with nothing but academic resume padding, but from none other than professors, that get amplified by shoddy journalism. Probably with some ulterior ideological motives (for funding maybe?)

Most of all: It's not tech related. Why is this voted up so much?
These posts are on the front page, and the comments are top of the threads. How does that result from "downvote or at least not upvote such content"?
Cracking jokes about censorship isn't racism, and your exaggerated, inaccurate description doesn't make it any more so.

You must be fun at comedy shows...
Nonetheless, the fact that it works in browsers as old as IE6 (haven't tried anything before that) is living proof of the fact that dogmatic "best practices" cargo-culting is, practically speaking, of zero or even negative value.
I answered one today from the IRS Federal Criminal Something-or-Other, pressed 1, was connected to a real human, and asked the guy to take me off their list. He said without hesitation "Give me $100."

I always answer and ask to be taken off their list. I know they'll never do it, but if we all do it in aggregate, it might waste so much of their time that it's no longer worth it for them.

When they say they won't take you off their list, just hang up immediately. The whole process takes only a few tens of seconds.
It’s not strictly repeatable because those experimental subjects are not identical to the ones you would use to repeat the experiment. Not only are they morphologically different specimens, but they are culturally/behaviorally different as well.

I’m not being sarcastic, I’m being strict about what constitutes a basis for a valid generalization.

> Is this really more sus than a cell bio paper? Are the conclusions so weak that it's not real science?

Its not necessarily that its more suspect or weaker, but that it is in a different epistemological category. Its a different kind of evidence. When you inject particles into a cloud chamber, you believe with very high confidence that those particles have fundamentally identical properties as the other particles of the same kind. We know that humans are not alike each other in the same way as particles. Therefore we are not permitted to treat them that way.
Something ironic about U of 'Queensland' pushing out a study which could be used in justifying the long running prohibition and demonization of a medicinal plant by state authorities.
Not to mention single points of failure like Letsencrypt.
There's a famous series of studies from the 1970s about this. Basically, rats stuck alone in metal cages with access to unlimited morphine will consume a hell of a lot more drugs than those in "Rat Parks" with other rats and things to play with.

Did you actually click the click the link and look at the very top comment? It's full of racial slurs and making fun of Chinese people. And it's not even average Chinese people doing the censorship, it's Biden. So they're going after the wrong people anyway.
I'm right, because what I'm saying is reasonable. Recreational drugs are not necessary for you to survive and thus you shouldn't risk using them if there is a possibility of them ruining your life. It's common sense.

edit: This isn't some though experiment, it's real life with real life consequences. Science might be helpful, fun and all, but I don't need a rigorous science to make my life choices and stay away from things that can potentially harm or kill me. Even if I'm basing my judgement on anecdotes. Life simply doesn't work that way and it doesn't matter if you think it's not 100% reliable.
Every stoner I know agrees long-term use has somewhat negative effects.

Yeah, that girl that identified herself as "Ketchup" was definitely a member of the Young Republicans, maybe even a John Birch Society card carrier.
If all of Alice's 100 shares are out on loan, is it actually easy for her to sell them?

Assume that her broker doesn't have a bunch of extra shares lying around, due to squeeze or bubble event.

Sincere question, I don't know how this works in practice.
“We have a tax code that asks low-income people to pay six times more than the wealthiest, in terms of how much tax they’re paying as a share of their income,” she said.

This is nice. Instead of low earners paying no taxes, higher earners paying more and highest earners paying highest, its the reverse. Bravo
Almost any drug will have harmful effects over a long enough time scale.

For instance, pretty much all the OTC pain relievers are bad for your kidneys and/or liver.

The question is if the positives out weight the negatives.

Getting a CAT scan imparts a non-zero lifetime increased risk of cancer, but if it finds something that would have killed you in the next 6 months...

Likewise, I'm sure cannabis has some long term negative effects, but it provides relief from pain, anxiety, nausea...
The use of the phrase consequences is so unscientific. Almost like they deliberately avoided writing correlation or causation.
I must admit the list is not as extreme as I expected given your comment. It is par for the course of what I see on the site.

I am not saying the group is good. There are indeed many lightly veiled hints towards violent armed insurrection, as the members fear imminent communist takeover of the USA. But it is best to carefully characterize the forum as the whiplash of overreaction can push people to be more sympathetic to their claims, and feeds their oppression narrative. I have certainly felt this effect.
Granting that I'm not really familiar with these things, it seems like the short sellers simply don't have the money to cover their positions at $350/share. They could try to buy back all the stocks, but they would run out of money long before they finished. Given that, they would most likely skip the crap and jump straight to declaring bankruptcy. So it doesn't seem like they really need to buy the stock at $350. At a lower price, where they could feasibly pay for it all, they might give it a go, but as it stands there is no chance. I haven't seen anyone else saying this, but I also don't see any way around it.
I am using Firefox 84.02 and it is not working. Takes considerably more than a minute to show fill username screen.
GME doesn't care if they pop the bubble though. They know their shares aren't actually worth $350 and they're not making strategic decisions based on them being worth that much. They'd much rather issue more shares, take the increase they get, and get back to their own business.
There were over 1000 sever boosts mentioned. It depends on the timeframe and how they got the boosts, but a single boost seems to cost at least $4 and can be up to $6.
Um no not really. Fund managers don't all get together and decide what they should buy all together. It doesn't work like that.
> burning neighborhoods to the ground

This kind of hyperbole discredits anything else you would have to say.

I mean, the rest is basically just unmasked racism, so it also discredits itself. So there's that.

Lie of omission, transcription of the relevant part of the video for anyone who doesn't click, Jen Psaki said: "I'm also happy to repeat that we have the first female treasury secretary and a team that's surrounding her, and often questions about market we'll send to them, but our team is of course - our economic team including Secretary Yellen and others - are monitoring uh the situation. It's a good reminder though that the stock market isn't the only measure of the health of our economy" [etc].

What's the purpose of being so strict about what constitutes that basis for a valid generalization?

What does it ultimately accomplish?
What this means is nose swabs aren’t catching every case !
I'm afraid I don't.

Ideally, I think the concept of protected classes shouldn't exist. I'm not sure if there is a difference of teasing/insulting someone about their height or their race. However, I understand the historical reason why these protective classes were created and why they were needed at the time.

I'm not sure how we move forward on this
It’s what I’m using to make my own personal decision, as I need to get a vaccine regardless.
So you failed, then took your time and practiced more to succeed. I don't see how that contradicts anything I said. Circumstances matters, effort matters. Talent being a huge factor doesn't contradict that.

Same for alcohol.

Is there a more efficient stress reliever than alcohol? (No, exercise isn't always sustainable)
I have a different view. This will create a need for better decentralization tech. That’s a warm future to me.
Excuse me if this doesn't make sense, I'm non-US and don't understand the ordeal with college.
Based on this project and your comments here on HN, you seem more knowledgeable than the average college-goer.
Is college really necessary for you? Could you not skip straight to university?
As soon as there are enough electric vehicle ownership among employees, they can't reliably charge at work. I already can't, the chargers are always taken.
It isn't simple to a computer, no. But humans have intuition to help guide us which is what makes maths simple. The more of it you have the simpler maths become, the less of it you have the more you have to approach it like a computer as you describe. Being able to approach something like a computer doesn't mean that you understand it though, otherwise you could argue that anyone being able to follow the instructions of a Turing engine understands basically all knowledge.
I’m making the bold claim that science is about falsifiable hypotheses. Falsification breaks down in situations where there is no proper control.
Just saying, in some countries you don't need to buy the whole packet (of pills) it's more ecological(less use of packaging, less unused stuff) and cheaper for the consumer...is this illegal in the US (or other countries) also what are the downsides ?

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience!

In Australia we only have access to the Libre 1. Which is both frustrating as I’d like my girlfriend to have the ease of the Libre 2/3 (bluetooth etc) but it’s tolerable given the more open nature of the first iteration where we double the function life - essentially halving the high cost.

I’m looking at grabbing a Bubble glucose monitor (https://www.bubblan.org/) that adds bluetooth functionality to the Libre 1 amongst other monitoring etc.

Have you looked into OpenAPS / AndroidAPS to move away from the Dexcom? Still learning so this may be an overly simplistic question.

Oof, I'm surprised sudo has lasted this long without serious inspection and fuzzing that should've caught this. Given its sensitive nature and low complexity, I'd say this utility is a high priority for being rewritten in rust.
As of now there have been few repercussions for turning the knob up on censorship. Power begets power, and we'll see whether or not it burns them in the end.
I don’t have a great solution.

However, IMO people address fake news the wrong way: they focus too much on intellectual content and not emotional reasons people have their beliefs.

People like fake news because they want to believe it. It confirms an underpinning assumption, threat, emotion they feel. It’s more productive IMO to understand how people feel about something. A simple example is desperately wanting to go back to “normal” during Covid, or feeling their status or livelihood under threat (working class in the US and elsewhere)

People reach for scapegoats and facts to fit the narrative they have. They have a strong feeling or grievance, and desperately want it validated.

If the goal is to influence someone’s beliefs, when we fact check them, we can be seen as invalidating their underlying emotion or feelings.

Instead it seems more productive to get the underlying issue out in the light of day and put less shame around it.

As a society and individuals I have no idea how we do that. But I just know fact checking people often has the opposite effect and just makes people madder.
Its a semantic debate and I’m gatekeeping “real science” to mean things that can be repeated and verified or disproven.
